12 Quirky Cool Corn Holders That Have ONE Job

You know what would be better than a predictable time capsule of a generation’s latest iPhone and hover boards, buried deep underground for future humans to discover, study, and ponder over? A kitchen junk drawer: a collection of humanity’s most baffling, inspiring, and vaguely useful tools. Picture the future people, wearing flared pants, fedoras, and solar-powered scrunchies (everything comes back) holding up some corn-on-the-cob holders to the light. “It just...holds corn?!” They wonder. “Then what are *hands* for?”

But for those of us who grew up with yellow plastic corn-shaped corn holders (so meta), there’s something comforting and nostalgic and sure, sort of useful, about the things. For at least two minutes, corn is pretty hot to touch! And in those moments, you’ll need these corn holders, because you are a person of discerning taste.
